    It’s a tankie instance?? I just saw that the description was lemmy.ml, I took it as to mean the most ‘generic’ one. (Given that it is ‘lemmy’) Where was this extra description?

    Also I thought everyone was free to just choose whichever and there was no difference in the kind of accessibility or privilege to choosing one over another?

      The .ml stands for Marxist Leninist. Not really, but that’s how they use it. It is a generic instance, but it does have that reputation.

      I love their passion for issues, but their stubborn unpractical approach to solutions is frustrating.

        Whaaat? Is there a list of other domains and what political agendas they stand for? Or what’s a completely politically neutered instance?

        Also there definitely was nothing like that in the description. I feel like I’m being profiled. What’s going on

          neutered instance?

          Neutral? Not sure there is. Maybe ask in one of the ask Lemmy communities. Tho generally Lemmy is left leaning as a whole.

            Alright. Well everyone is entitled to their opinions. If we need to bring classism even into a federated environment, I guess it’s all in human nature.

              Idk if I’d say its that. Some instances cater to techies, others to lgbt, and others to anarchy. Yours just happens to be Marxist. It also happens that many critiques around the .ml servers are that they don’t care about practical results (often arguing against things that might give some relief). Your initial comment here is cutting against the grain of what that community typically advocate for.

                How do “.ml” communuties typically attract people from the same cut of cloth? It’s not like such leanings are written somewhere?

                  Either your in on how .ml is used in that context or promoted in other circles with those leanings. Tho I don’t really know. Its also the instance that the main Lemmy dev manages.
